This is my 3rd white elm bag. I have the Gemini and the Luna(I gave that one to my daughter). I just wish the bags were wider. I’m a bag person I have a lot. Other than that really enjoying the bag. I just got the wallet, cosmetic bag and skye sling to add to my collection

I searched for months to find a travel/work bag that had a zipper, trolley sleeve, could fit under the plane seat, and didn’t look frumpy. I could not be more obsessed with this bag! Gorgeous doesn’t even begin to describe. My 13” laptop and its carry case fit in the sleeve comfortably. There are tons of pockets without it being overkill. It fits over my shoulder just fine with the handle drop. I didn’t miss a front pocket (I was worried) and stashed my phone in the outer side pocket just fine. If you were like me, stop the endless searching and get this bag. You will be so glad you did!

I already own 1 Gemini, 2 Gemini minis, 1 Aquila, 2 Starlas, 2 Aras, 1 Skye sling bag, 2 cosmetic pouches, and 2 XL straps. I have also bought a Gemini mini and an Ara for my mom and plan to do the same for my boyfriend’s mom. To say that I love White Elm is an understatement. I preach about them everywhere I go and now a few friends have bought them too. I have read some great stories about the Nylon collection so I thought I would try the black nylon Aquila and Skye. These are hands down my two absolutely favorite pieces!!! Now if I could only get White Elm to make a Carina and Starla in black nylon with that beautiful shimmery gold lining, I would be elated! One thing I must add is that opening packages from White Elm puts the biggest smile on my face as their packaging is truly special.

I did a good bit of research before I made the decision to puraxhse my Aquila, and I’m so glad I did. This bag is absolute perfection and perfect for toting around everything I need for work! I’ve had a ton of compliments and I definitely want to purchase the Ara!

This is my second purchase from White Elm…and I’m never disappointed! This sand color is a classic and it’s smooth as butter. I received compliments and gave the website out as a reference point. I thank you White Elm

The Aquila is my first but definitely not my last White Elm Bag. I was impressed before my order arrived, customer service caught an error I made when placing the order and reached out to confirm my color preference. Just two days later I had this gorgeous spacious bag that fits all my MomBoss necessities! Love love love

4 years ago I bought this bag because I needed a work bag. I have the brown with blue interior. Back then there were fewer options! I've used it every working day the last 4 years. And even has continued into the evening a couple times to the occasional evening college classes. And even a couple weekend getaways. It carries my lunch and snacks, laptop, planner, glasses, water, pens, textbook, everything and anything in between a girl can take to work. I actually have had it so long I WANT to buy a NEW bag (White Elm of course)... but this one still looks amazing! Has some interior staining from pens and things... standard wear really. There is extremely minor wear and tear on the handles (pictured). But... I've been using it every day for FOUR YEARS. I even recently had someone ask me where I got my "new" bag from (for some reason they'd never seen it and it looked new!). Uhmmm... yea, it's 4 years old. Check out White Elm. Buy the bag. 4 years, 52 weeks a year, 5 days a week...looking at 1,040+ days worth of use and growing. I hope one day I can justify buying a new one for work... or maybe I need one for travel?!... Need to work on my girl math...
